The Network Journal, 12/21/2010 (Greg Greenlee)

Professionals Network Digitally. Black Web sites have been hit or miss. Just think about the long list ... Damon Dash made a big splash with BlackSavvy.com to lukewarm reaction ... GlobalGrind, done by Russell Simmons via a venture capital deal, is hanging on. Then you have BET.com and theRoot.com (founded by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.), neither of which is fully Black-owned ... There are sites for Black techies such as www.noiredigerati.com, though BlackGeeks.com is no more. But for the Black professionals, there are far and few between digital outlets such as BlackPlanet.com--until now, according to the founder of Goblackbook.com.
